Damn, dude lived for 23 more years after a massive stroke. That’s wild

[@dpellek74]

Devon Palmer I was thinking the same exact thing if he only knew he had another 23 more years ago

[@thebeststooge]

@Kris B If everyone knew their exact expiration date with no way out this world would fall into darkness I think because everyone would have a fire lit under their asses. No more procrastination and the people could say I am dying tomorrow so I will go out with a bang and do some seriously messed up stuff.

[@therealtoxicbeast2267]

Devon Palmer really bad mid air helicopter collision as well.

[@saiwantv]

Michael Douglases voice is just the same.

[@youraweandconfusion]

He also survived a suicide attempt if I remember correctly.

[@fenrilorf534]

How is it possible that every single time Kirk Douglas talked, he had a witty remark and punchline at the end? The men was crazy charismatic!

I admire his ability to laugh at his situation. My grandma nearly lost the ability to walk due to a stroke. It has to be a very scary thing to go through.

[@preslove]

Dude used "my stroke" as the set up to at least 6 punch lines. That is brass balls if I've ever witnessed them

Always a big fan of Conan's self deprecation. Apparently Kirk looks the same, not taking himself too seriously and I love that! Rest in peace cool 103 year old dude.

[@Czechbound]

Watch Kirk in "Lonely Are The Brave" - the scene where he has to get the horse up an include on the top of a mountain. No stuntman. Could genuinely have been killed at any moment. Unreal bravery. Or when he storms the castle in "The Vikings". Totally athletic and without fear. A real man's man. Rest in Peace

[@petros-v4w]

UNBELIEVABLE SENSE OF HUMOR. What an intelligent warm-hearted and kind soul he was. He helped the community a lot, God Bless you Kirk Douglas. A true legend FOREVER

[@grahamefreestone5309]

9:30 stands up to shake Conan's hand is a class act. 👍

[@WizardOfHumor1989]

Kirk’s sharp state of mind (and access to words) were still intact even when his stroke affected his speech.

[@leightnite3056]

Amazing. And it's great when he gets more comfortable, and his real voice and swagger peeks through!

[@grindcoremaniac]

A true film legend. Rest in peace.

[@virgilhilts2552]
